Gu Mengmeng turned to leave but the Beast Deity sighed again and said in a low voice. “Which father will want to see his own child perish together with someone else…
Gu Mengmeng woke up feeling pretty good. She felt as if even the sky looked bluer.
Stretching out lazily, she took the cup of water which Elvis had promptly delivered to her. After taking a sip, she smiled warmly. “Thank you.”
Elvis poked Gu Mengmeng’s head. “Are you thanking me?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it, oh right.
Elvis had done so much for her. What had he done that could be simply repaid with a superficial word of thanks?
Circling Elvis’ neck, she kissed him before snuggling into his embrace.
Elvis enjoyed this intimate act, which Gu Mengmeng had not done for some time.
His Xiao Meng was getting better by the day. Although still different from before, at least she was behaving nearly the same whenever she was with him and Lea.
That was enough.
As to whether she wanted to save the world or destroy it, he didn’t care. As long as she was happy.
“How long was I asleep?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Elvis replied, “Two days and one night.”
“What about Wabei? Is he still outside?”
Elvis nodded. “Yeah, he never moved.”
“Let’s go take a look.”
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng out of the cave without a word.
Her slumber had been restorative and she felt well rested. Her heart felt calm and she knew Snake was getting on rather well. Although she was timid and awkward, and Snake’s overbearing pursuit would just make her run further, but… it might be a good thing to cause a little trouble to Snake?
His life had been too placid, too boring.
With no one daring to rebel against the ultimate ruler of the world, it must have been very lonely after a long while.
Just let herself give him a taste of trouble in that other dimension. It should be pretty good.
With her lips curved in a smile, Gu Mengmeng’s reached out to hit Wabei from behind in a sneak attack.
Wabei was very agile and instantly ducked.
That feeling of suppression was very familiar. Dangerous but with no intention to kill. That was why Wabei knew all along it must be Gu Mengmeng. However…
“He would never do such a sneaky thing. So disgraceful.” Wabei’s face was full of disdain.
Gu Mengmeng shrugged nonchalantly. “He said it before, he is he and I am me. I will act as I please. So, if I like to carry out sneak attacks, so what? Strike me if you dare?”
Wabei rolled up his sleeves and stood up. “Let’s fight then. Who’s afraid of whom!”
Gu Mengmeng pushed Elvis aside and stepped forward with arms wide open. “Come on, hit me. I won’t retaliate. But if you accidentally kill me… you have to answer to the Beast Deity himself.”
For a long while, Wabei pondered seriously over whether to attack her. But looking at Gu Mengmeng’s fearless expression, he really did not dare to strike.
No matter how much power her body held, she was still physically very petite and looked very nondurable.
He had dared to fight her previously as he knew he could not beat her. But now, she was obviously not going to retaliate or duck. How to fight like that?!
What if he really injured her? How could he answer to Snake then?!
After waiting for a long while, Wabei remained motionless. Gu Mengmeng smiled tauntingly. “Eh, are you going to strike me? If not, I am leaving.”
